OSH Security Practice Test

Licensees are prohibited from the following acts:

1. Following someone without their consent for the purpose of gathering information

2. Forcibly removing an unwanted patron from a night club

3. Assisting an owner of an apartment by reporting a tenant’s activities

4. Providing information about a person in a witness protection program

The correct answer is: Providing information about a person in a witness protection program

Providing information about a person in a witness protection program is prohibited for licensees because doing so would compromise the safety and confidentiality of individuals who are in such programs. Witness protection is designed to shield individuals from potential harm due to their cooperation with law enforcement, often involving crimes that threaten their safety. Therefore, any disclosure of information related to these individuals can severely undermine the purpose of the program and potentially endanger lives. The other choices involve situations that, under certain circumstances, may have legal or ethical guidelines governing behavior, but they do not carry the same level of severity or risk associated with the violation of witness protection provisions. For instance, following someone without their consent can typically be seen as harassment rather than a direct threat to safety, and forcibly removing an unwanted patron may be addressed by venue policies or local laws. Assisting an apartment owner by reporting a tenant’s activities may also fall within acceptable behavior depending on the circumstances and legal context.
